I figured you knew the family. Thanks again for the post. Its been awhile since I've seen some dung beetles. :)

Thanks, bee.jacbs. I could have started at family but decided to leave it checked as unknown so it could be found in that search field. If there is no response on genus after some time then I will edit and move to family level. Thanks again! :-)

Nice spotting Aaron. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure they are in the family Scarabidae, but I'm not sure about the genus. Maybe this site will help you since you got a good look at them. http://bugguide.net/node/view/2950/bgimage
